Our 169 singers performed 12 times this year; sold over 1300 tickets at two concerts and offered the rest for free; performed in 11 different venues; collaborated with 10 groups; engaged 84 professional vocal soloists and instrumentalists; and featured 12 more soloists from within the choir. Ticketed concerts comprised a holiday concert at Duke Chapel on December 22, 2024 featuring selections including Conrad Susa's _Carols and Lullabies_ and a performance of Beethoven's _Missa Solemnis_ at Baldwin Auditorium on May 18, 2025. Free concerts included a jazz concert, a Chamber Choir concert, a community singalong of Handel's _Messiah_, and performances at Carolina Meadows CCRC and Pettigrew Rehabilitation Center. On May 31, 2025 we hosted the second annual Durham Community Sing, featuring 380 singers from eight other local choral groups and members of the community who wanted to join us, performing for 128 audience members in another free concert.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
